The Taoiseach and his officials are very welcome. I raised a couple of issues with him. One is that his Department has responsibility for commissions of investigation. I think there are two under his control at present. One is the NAMA commission and the other is the IBRC commission. I am conscious that the IBRC commission has concluded. It delivered its report in July 2022. Where are we with the NAMA commission? The Taoiseach said in his submission that it was due to report by the end of March 2024. I am conscious, in fairness to that commission, that the judge who was appointed to it died two years ago and there was a change; a solicitor took over. Just from the point of view of an awareness as to when a final report is likely, do we have any information for the committee on that?
